Hello,
Yes, you can have the emergency contraception now as you are still in the stipulated period. If you have regular 28-30 day cycles, it is more likely that you are in the safe period as you have just come off your period and this becomes an added advantage. In future, please plan for a regular form of contraception as repeated use of emergency pills is not advisable as they create strong hormonal imbalances. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
